Anabolic Steroids=Indirect Suicide

[Elementality]

Dont know if anyone takes anabolic steroids but, im taking a drugs and health class from a highly professional, neutralily stanced, experienced (has done lots of drugs etc), many years in the industry etc etc teacher at the university where i attend college. We have been going over stuff like psychadellics, fat burning pills, protein, uppers/downers, rec. drugs etc, but we recently went over anabolic steroids.

Now like i mentioned, this teacher is neutralily stanced and he lectured us on anablic steroids and was able to put the science in lamen terms so we could understand its true effects on the human body. To make a long story short, the effects are so terrible on your body, i think anyone who would ever use these or is thinking about using these do some extensive research on it because this stuff is pure evil and i feel bad to anyone who is stupid enough to use them.

I think I would read a bit more on this site hun.

I am a natural BBer, however, steroids play a part in this sport.

I think you will find that the use of performance enhancing drugs is ubiquitous.

I totally get you are concerned, and you want to make a difference with people, but consider that your lecturer has taken the 'worst case scenario'.

Steroids are not 'pure evil', as there are clinical uses for them, including osteoporosis, sacropenia, achondroplasia, hypogonadism, sexual dysfunction, anti-aging, to name a few.

I failed to mention HRT for both men and women, and of course, birth control pills, as oestrogen and progesterone are anabolic in women.

It might help a discussion if you were to tell us more about these "effects that are so terrible".

Almost everyone here has researched the matter in some depth and, of those who have researched, those using are the ones who deemed the effects not only not to be terrible but, rather, to be beneficial to their health and well-being.

In the absence of further information, one might reasonably suggest that you need a refund on that course.

Most of the effects that people cite regarding AAS use comes from abuse, not use. Under a physician's supervision (where monitoring of liver enzymes, thyroid functions, and other health effects), AAS can be safe. Unfortunately, Congress and the DEA think otherwise, and any physician who prescribes anabolics is likely to have his or her license revoked and face jail time. This is why nearly all physicians will refuse to write for steroids.

Taken in moderation, steroids will increase your chances of developing cancer (primarily liver), heart attack (through testosterone's ability to increase LDL while decreasing HDL, or the good cholesterol), stroke (raises blood pressure), and a few other ailments. However, as with every drug, there is a side effect-benefit discussion that needs to be made. Most people will agree that the benefits outweigh the side effects when used in moderation, with careful monitoring, and only for a short course done infrequently (i.e., every other year).

However, when people start stacking steroids, using mega doses, etc., then it becomes a serious problem where your risk of an adverse health effect is substantially increased. If physicians were allowed to prescribe steroids without federal watchdogs second guessing their prescribing patterns, then this would be less likely to occur. It's similar to the situation when abortions were banned: numerous women became seriously ill from sepsis and many died from abortions performed in alleys, pop up abortion clinics, and from unlicensed providers.

Alcohol is poison. It can literally kill. That doesn't mean everyone who takes a drink now and then is engaged in "pure evil."

Just being alive is a death sentence.

Steroids are used for medical purposes, sports injuries etc. their main purpose is to get rid of inflammation. A star football player may injure his knee and they will inject steroids into the knee so he can finish the game and hopefully not create any permanent scar tissue. thats steroids, they dont use ANABOLIC STEROIDS for health issues lol.

As far as some notes on why this is bad? I will ask my teacher to email me his powerpoint slides so i can show you guys. I shouldnt even have to do this, you guys are all just rationalizing that they aren't bad, but i will if you insist. And to try and compare alcohol to anabolic steroids is like comparing marijuana to crystal meth.

I won't be able to convince most people here who use them, because they've already been brainwashed to the point of no return if they were retarted enough to do that to their bodies, but I can convince some other fellow weight lifters not to go down that STUPID path.

Oh and our teacher has an exclusive interview with arnold schawrtz. on the subject of steroids where he actually admitted using them during an interview. <my teacher has access to some crazy stuff>. And arnold said if he could go back and change one thing in his life it would be to change the fact that he even touched steroids let alone put them in his body. One could argue he said that for his political prestige, but he looked pretty damn serious to me when he said it.

And whoever posted about monitored, small doses of anabolic steroids being safe because it would decrease the likely hood of getting the negative side effects thats common sense bro. I'll give you props for awesome sentence structure, intelligent perspective writing style, but all you're really saying is street smart common sense. -- You take less of something = decreased chance of seing not only side effects, but beneficial effects. With your theory, we should all do heroine once in a while to feel that euphoric (10 times orgasm feeling) effect to relieve stress maybe once every 6 - 7 months. If we do it this way, its safe.

Im sorry to come on so hostile and biased but anyone who even supports or tries to rationalize beneficial, recreational use of steroids needs to be slapped in the face in my opinion.

In short, the use of anabolic steroids completley changes your body chemistry and how muscles grow and develop in your body. This isn't like creatine, aminos, or protein supps that are already naturally in your body, this is like a computer virus that is completley changing your body's code.
